Editor's Overview
The 2013 Chevy Suburban is a full-size SUV that can carry up to nine passengers and tow well over 9,000 pounds, making it a long-standing favorite among families and fleets. The downsides to the Suburban's size and strength are mediocre fuel economy and lack of finesse when it comes to parking and overall maneuverability.

Owner Reviews
So far, no issues—but leaves me feeling they are around the corner.
We got the upgraded suburban with all the bells and whistles, which actually makes me nervous for when things need to start getting fixed. Luckily, that hasn't happened yet. I don't use a lot of the features such as navigation and such. There is more cargo room than a lot of other SUVs we looked at but that means the third row seats are very cramped. Luckily, my kids are still small enough it isn't too big of a deal. The vehicle doesn't feel solid to me, and I don't know why. I feel like at any given time, something is about to go wrong. Just a feeling, but one I never had with my Toyotas.
Great family truck for large families and road trips.
The Chevy suburban works great for us and her seven kids. Everyone�is comfortable in it and we can fit three car seats in the third row. It is only downfall is it is starting to fall apart after five years. We�ve had electrical problems, chair handles breaking, door handles breaking, on the side panels, the glue came unstuck so they've fallen off and we had to have them re-glued. Can we had about a year off the truck having no power when you go to give it gas. We added a k&n whole air intake filter that made the truck run a lot better.
Its mine! leave it alone! also do not lean on it, i hate when people just lean on your car; how rude. other than that, just don't turn on the radio and you will be ok.
I love the size of my vehicle, the muscle, the sound and so much more. this vehicle is the best vehicle i have ever owned. the only things i do not like about it are the fact that it has so many electrical problems and it cannot move very fast once it has been slowed down or stopped. it takes a couple of seconds to get it moving but one its moving you have some fun with it. i also do not like the suspension that really sucks. it is an older model though so i understand.
